A Separation Theorem for Periodic Sharing Information Patterns in Decentralized Control
Optimal decentralized control of a discrete-time stochastic system is considered under a periodic sharing information pattern, In this scenario, controllers share information with one-step delay every K time steps, The periodic sharing pattern is a generalization of the previously studied one-step delay sharing pattern, which is known to possess a nonclassical separation property, It is proven that the periodic sharing pattern has an analogous separation property.
